Why so much for a yellow tail tamarin wrasse?

3 years ago I got my female who is now a male for $120. LA wants $799... Why? They aren't from Hawaii.

LA's prices have increased a lot. Some fish more than others. It is probably the price they intended.

Hrmm... that's insane. Here's another competitor's prices.. of course I never see them in stock. https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productDetail.asp?did=1&pid=936&cid=289

LA’s prices are sky rocketing. I have noticed this too, the Anampses meleagrides shouldn’t be that high in pricing if you go to the LFS. I know they’re nightmare shippers but unless collection was limited they aren’t normally that high in pricing.

Also I checked what my LFS are selling them at over here and it’s about £35-40 depending on size which over there is $46.83-$53.52 USD.
